So I've upgraded Ubuntu to 8.10 thinking I would get better results from my Wifi card.
Unfortunately Ubuntu didnt' automagically find my Wifi card.
Now I'm stuck in a position with no wireless because I can't even reinstall the madwifi drivers:
Code:
Installing MadWifi...OK
Loading kernel module...OK
Adding ath_pci to /etc/modules...OK
It seems that the driver did not detect compatible hardware.
Please try to connect to an AP and post the output of
sudo ./madwifi.sh --info to the forum.
